People joined together to rescue the abandoned horse wandering in the street
Generally, rescuers receive calls about pets like cats and dogs but it is rare to learn about a stray horse in Philadelphia.
Many people noticed a horse wandering in the park alone. It was somehow strange for them seeing such animal lonely without an owner. They were worried about the poor creature. It is said that a man brought him to the park and left him there.
Concerned citizens warned Philadelphia’s Animal Care and Control Team for help. And they responded instantly arriving and giving assistance in an organized way. They took the horse under their responsibility and provided him with special care.
The agency stated that the miserable animal was neglected and sorrowful. He needed medical treatment and special attention to be recovered. The staff did the best to be sure that he was getting proper food and water and was in a protected shelter.
ACCT called him Darien after the street where he was found. They wrote in their Facebook page that Darien was in the process of healing and he wouldn’t be able to be adopted untill the complete recovery. They even decided to move him to other safe place as it was not so convinient for him to stay in Philadelphia.
The local residents also undertook everything to ensure that the horse would not only be proyected but also well cared and happy.
After awful weekend of deadly shootings, neighbor who saw humanity displayed by Hunting Park residents helping a horse left abandoned on Darien Street, said “It truly seemed like the ‘Wild, Wild West’ this weekend, but this showed the good in Philadelphia.” @FOX29philly pic.twitter.com/aJhY9tEhd3
